We are a full-service law firm, with particular emphasis on litigation and arbitration, projects, project finance, banking and corporate finance and corporate and commercial matters. The firm has associate offices in the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan.

We are a firm that is adapting to new demands and business challenges. A firm that understands what clients need today and, equally important, what they will need tomorrow. We have recognized that the marketplace is changing, and we have analysed what is shaping the industries we serve. Now we are focusing on creative and cost-effective solutions that ensure our clients receive the best service at the best price. It is an approach that makes MAR LAW such a distinctive and innovative force in the legal market in the Sultanate of Oman. It is what makes us21stcentury lawyers. Today’s world demands clear, pragmatic legal advice that is grounded in commercial objectives.

Our clients benefit not just from our excellence in technical quality, but also from our close understanding of the business realities and imperatives they face. Our lawyers have advised clients on their most significant and strategic matters. In contrast to many law firms in Oman, our growth has been organic. This provides clients with exceptional stability and consistency of approach across the firm.

We have looked very closely at our industry and what concerns our clients. For example: spiralling costs, jobs that overrun, and the need to go beyond core legal advice and be a trusted business partner. We understand how organizations work, we know the commercial drivers and the strategic imperatives, and we have a wealth of experience across a wide range of sectors. It is no surprise that we serve as the first port of call for many foreign clients, international law firms and domestic enterprises for Oman law matters.

• foreign direct investment (FDI), corporate and commercial law and M&As
• international and Omani banking and finance law (conventional, Islamic and ECA finance)
